The way this particular artifact is resolved (I tried it earlier today) is that Maven uses the POM-defined set of repositories to search for it. THis particular artifact is found at "Maven Central" repository, here:
http://repo1.maven.org/eclipse/org/eclipse/equinox/app/1.0.0-v20070423/ Can you point a broswer to that spot, and see if you can access that directory? (I can: it shows the JAR and the POM files plus some checksum files). If you cannot see it, perhaps there's some kind of firewall issue? If you can see that, try the following: cd to the directory .../uimaj-ep-cas-editor Then type mvn help:effective-pom This should print out what maven thinks is the POM for this project, after merging all the information from parents. It should include a section: <repositories> <repository> <releases> <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy> <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>false</enabled> </snapshots> <id>eclipsePlugins</id> <name>Eclipse components</name> <url>http://repo1.maven.org/eclipse</url> </repository> which identifies the place Maven should be able to find this plugin. Does that much work? -Marshall On 11/11/2013 4:24 PM, Kim Ebert wrote: > Hi Marshall, > > The -U does not resolve the problem. > > Thanks, > > Kim Ebert > 1.801.669.7342 > Perfect Search Corp > http://www.perfectsearchcorp.com/ > > On 11/11/2013 12:18 PM, Marshall Schor wrote: >> hi, >> >> I think that the most likely cause of this is some kind of momentary failure >> of >> the network. >> >> Unfortunately, Maven will remember this and not attempt to retry this (for a >> day)... >> >> You can override that by specifying -U to the maven command: >> >> eg. >> >> mvn install -U >> >> Please try that and see if it fixes things... >> >> -Marshall >> On 11/11/2013 12:21 PM, Kim Ebert wrote: >>> Hi All, >>> >>> I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem building uimaj-2.4.2 >>> from source with a fresh Maven repo. >>> >>> I keep getting an error of >>> >>> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project uimaj-ep-cas-editor: Could not >>> resolve dependencies for project >>> org.apache.uima:uimaj-ep-cas-editor:jar:2.4.2: Failure to find >>> org.eclipse.equinox:app:jar:1.0.0 in http://repo1.maven.org/eclipse was >>> cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until >>> the update interval of eclipsePlugins has elapsed or updates are forced >>> -> [Help 1] >>> >>> Any help would be appreciated. >>> >>> Thanks, >>> >
